With so many calling qanon a psyop while participating in qanon while it was relevant, I think most don't care or are pro child trafficking. The more they protest occasionally, the more they are likely to be very into child trafficking. The end of the documentary This Place Rules is very instructive

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

The guardsman's identity is a matter of public record. They can and should be reported to their units, State governments, Employers, The FBI and DHS, National Guard IG, and DOD IG. The guardsman know what they are doing is illegal, they need to face charges and whoever ordered it needs more charges.

Absolutely. And you can see that Yarvins previous anonymous writings through blogs, group chats and websites (These acted similar to the John Birch Society used to use secrecy and being part of an to push its message) were used to gain acceptance for ideas are being implemented as of 2025.

That description works if the circles are all considered part of an influence network run by Peter Theil where both Yarvin and Vance have been benefitted greatly by serving Theil's interests. It's a high-tech John Birch society and these guys are all leaders in the movement.

Plus there are a myriad of links between Vance and Theil and Theil and Yarvin. Both Yarvin and Vance are Theil's political investments. Yarvin puts out the theory and Vance is the face, both only became influential at all due to Theil's backing. Vance and Theil also invest in sites like rumble
